Description

So You Want to be a Viking by John Haywood is an interactive guide that takes you back in time to Scandinavia in 991 CE. Three kids are transported to this era and learn the ways of being a Viking, including how to wield a battle ax, navigate the seven seas, and scare enemies into submission. You'll discover how to get shipshape, recite rude poems, and make it into Valhalla in the afterlife with the help of Hervor, a haunted shield-maiden. The book features zany illustrations by Japanese cartoonist Takayo Akiyama and is based on the latest scholarship in the field. This guide is perfect for anyone who's ever daydreamed about being a fierce Norse warrior. With its unique blend of history, humor, and illustration, it's an entertaining and educational read that will transport you to a bygone era.
